Alcohol-Induced Liver Disease

Affects on a Baby in the First Month of Pregnancy?

Question by April: affects on a baby in the first month of pregnancy?
A close friend of mine thinks she may be pregnant, but she wont know if she has missed a period because her method of birth control only gives her 4 periods a year. She has never been into drugs or alcohol but in the past month she has done cocaine, mushrooms, and a lot of binge drinking. I don’t need to hear about how stupid all that is and how she shouldn’t have done it or had unprotected sex in the first place (because I know, and so does she) but how would that effect a baby in the first month of pregnancy? Is there even a chance for a normal child if she has quit everything now that she knows she may be affecting another person as well as herself?
